India is now the World's 2nd Largest Seafarer Supplier. 🇮🇳⚓
Behind every cargo ship that crosses oceans, there are skilled seafarers keeping global trade moving.
According to the BIMCO–ICS Seafarer Workforce Report 2026, the top three seafarer-supplying nations are:
🇵🇭 Philippines – 16.5% of the world's seafarers (Rank #1)
🇮🇳 India – 12.2% of the world's seafarers (Rank #2)
🇨🇳 China – 10.5% of the world's seafarers (Rank #3)
Together, these three countries contribute nearly 40% of the global seafaring workforce.
India's rise to the second position reflects the growing strength, skill, and professionalism of Indian seafarers. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, it's equally important to build trusted digital infrastructure that supports recruitment, verification, compliance, and career growth.
At yesNavy, we're working toward making the maritime ecosystem more transparent, connected, and seafarer-first.
⚓ The future of global shipping depends on the people at sea.
